I'm actually quite serious.
Like I said, I know you didn't use the phrase to imply that you're shopping for women. I get that. But in the context of this discussion, to talk describe a thread whose only real purpose is to show the female form as "one stop shopping" - that strikes me as at the
very least a poor choice of words.
That's all I was pointing out; how the careless use of language can be hurtful, even (or perhaps especially) with regards to a subject like sexual objectification. It's so common that we often don't even realize how we're using the language, and what we're really implying.
Again, not anything personal against you, EE, and no offence was meant. I have no doubt that you meant the phrase as literally just a turn of phrase. It just happened to really jump out to me as an example of situations where often, we don't even
think about objectification as an issue. It's so common, it's often not even part of our collective consciousness.
